Story
My mom recently passed away and I am need to find a home for him (Charles/Charlie). He is house trained as long as you keep him on a consistent schedule and is very clingy and likes to always be near a human. He seems to be OK with large and small dogs as long as they leave him alone as he is not playful and likes to sleep. His hearing and sight is fading so we found we have to lead him to his food and water. He is approx 14 years old as my mom adopted him from the humane society a couple years ago.

Story
Meet Talia 💕 a 6-year-old Shih Tzu/Poodle mix with a gentle spirit and a heart that just needs time. Talia is a very shy, sensitive girl who is still learning to feel safe in the world around her. She is not a dog who seeks out attention right away in fact, she currently prefers space over physical affection and may not enjoy being pet at this time. Talia will need a patient, understanding home that respects her boundaries and allows her to come around on her own terms. While she may not be a “cuddly” dog right now, Talia finds comfort in quiet environments and consistent routines. With time, trust, and gentle encouragement, she has the potential to build meaningful bonds but her future family must be willing to go slow and celebrate the small wins. Talia is fully vaccinated, spayed, and has excellent manners for grooming. She is doing very well with housebreaking and continues to improve, though she may still have occasional accidents as she adjusts. Talia would do best in a calm, low-traffic home with patient adopters who understand shy or undersocialized dogs. She’s looking for someone who will love her for who she is right now not who they expect her to be. If you have a quiet home and a big heart for dogs who need a little extra understanding, Talia could be your girl 💗 Apply to adopt Talia here: https://www.zoeshouserescue.com/adopt Zoe’s House Rescue

Story
Meet Ollie Ollie is a sensitive 1‑year‑old Shih Tzu who came to us when his breeder made the decision to downsize. He’s a very pretty little guy with striking black and white fur, and a gentle soul that’s still learning what life outside of a breeding environment looks like. Ollie is okay with being picked up and petted, though he can be nervous and a bit unsure at first. He doesn’t seek out constant attention, but once he feels safe, he allows affection and clearly wants to trust. He does best when things are calm, predictable, and unhurried. One thing that brings Ollie a lot of comfort is being around other dogs. He seems to flourish with canine companionship and often takes confidence from watching and following their lead. For this reason, a home with a friendly, well‑adjusted dog would be wonderful for him. Ollie is looking for a quiet, low‑key home, ideally without young children, where he can continue to build confidence at his own pace. He’ll do best with patient adopters who understand that some dogs need time — and that progress, no matter how small, is worth celebrating. With consistency, kindness, and the right environment, Ollie has all the potential to become a loyal and loving companion. If you’re someone who appreciates the quieter moments and believes in letting a dog unfold in their own time, Ollie may be the perfect match for you. He will come neutered, vaccinated, microchipped and 4dx tested..

Story
Meet Zeus: Zeus is about a 5 year old (as of May 2026) Shih Tzu / pug mix (best guess) that weighs about 17 pounds. Zeus was surrendered by the son of his 76 year old owner who couldn't care for him anymore. Zeus was well cared for but didn't adapt well to shelter life and was coming across grumpy and hostile. We were luckily able to get him into our rescue and out of the shelter were he transformed completely into a happy guy. Zeus is currently being fostered in the south and would love to take the freedom ride north to Pennsylvania to meet more prospective families. Although our initial introduction to Zeus revealed a stressed and agitated man, he has since showed that he is a playful, engaging, puppy-like companion. Zeus has been a gentle, sedate, belly rub-loving little fellow that's good on a leash and likes car rides. We recommend against extended crate time for this little guy and would encourage slow introductions to be sure he feels comfortable. Zeus appears to be house trained. We would love for Zeus to have a home with a fenced in yard so he can run and play freely. Zeus is up to date on his shots and is neutered. If you are interested in giving this little man the comfortable, safe home he deserves, please go to Charlie’s Crusaders website (www.charliescrusaders.org) to fill out an application. CURRENT LOCATION: Mississippi, awaiting transport to PA ##2741980##

Odie (M) is a 17.5lb 4-year-old Shih Tzu mix with a one-of-a-kind face and an even sweeter heart. This handsome gentleman sports a soft white, black, and tan coat and carries himself with quiet charm. Though he only has one eye, Odie doesn’t let that slow him down—he simply sees the world a little differently. He is neutered, up to date on vaccines and microchipped. He will be arriving to PA on 6/6.
